Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when

using your dishwasher, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

dishwashers are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

Before you throw away your old appliance: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in

place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the dishwasher.

Never clean dishwasher parts with flammable fluids.

Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other dishwasher.

Plug the dishwasher into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not

under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified

electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center

-Save these instructions-

Electrical Connection

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord

supplied.

Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.

Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced

with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

This dishwasher requires a standard 110/120 volts A.C.~/60hz electrical outlet with three-prong

ground.

The cord should be secured behind the dishwasher and not left exposed or dangling to prevent

accidental injury.

Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system: or run an equipment grounding terminal or

lead of the appliance.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance

is properly grounded.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance form the power supply before

attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance

from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.



Warning



Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is

damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the

appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water Heater Safety

Under certain conditions hydrogen may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two

weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by

turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any

electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any

built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or

appliance during this process.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING

READ FOR PROPER USE

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer recommendations.

Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Using detergent that

is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.

Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid, keep children away from the open door of the

dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.

The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.

During installation, the power supply must not be excessively bent or flattened.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door

very carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of water squirting out.

Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip

forward.

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;

Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items from contacting with heating

element.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or

similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Please dispose of packing materials properly.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

Remove the door when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

OVERFLOW PROTECTIONS

Our Avanti dishwasher has an overfill protection device which could automatically shut off the inlet valve and start

the drain pump if the water overflows. In the event of an overflow, the system display will flash “F1” and will

attempt to drain the water. If the overflow stops and the system drains the water the “F1” will disappear.

If the system cannot stop the overflow condition, turn off the main water supply before calling a servicer. If there

is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be removed using a a sponge

before restarting the dishwasher.

WATER CUT OFF - WARNING

If during a wash cycle the water main is cut-off or turned off and the machine cannot take in water the display

will flash “FF”. As long as the condition or lack of water remains the display will continue to flash “FF”, once

the water is returned to the unit, it will return to normal working mode.

LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER - WARNING

If during a wash cyle the electricity is lost or turned off or the door of the machine has been opened, the

machine cannot operate normally, the machine will return to normal working mode after 8 seconds once the

power has returned and if the internal temperature of the unit is above 113ºF.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DETERGENT DEPOSITS DO NOT ADD EXCESS AMOUNT OF

DETERGENT AS YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A SPECIALLY DESIGNED WATER SOFTNER.

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the

“Wash Cycle Table”. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers.

Generally, only one teaspoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load, heavily soiled items may need

more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp

and not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

IF THE WATER IN YOUR AREA IS NOT TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF

DEPOSITS BY DETERGENT

The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in the water hardness of your area. To determine

the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder

the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use

by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

Proper Use Of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwasher. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put

powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

•

Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse-aid dispenser is located on the door next to the

detergent dispenser. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black (approximately

100ml of liquid rinse-aid). Be sure not to overfill the dispenser as this will cause over-sudsing. Wipe away any

spills with a damp cloth. Keep in mind that if you have soft water, you may not need to use a rinse-aid as it may

cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

•

To open the dispenser, lift up the Rinse Aid reservoir cover as shown below.

•

Pour the rinse-aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.

•

Replace the cover after filling.

•

The rinse-aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can

leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing the water to “sheet” off the dishes.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid

needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in

lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may

not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

When To Refill The Rinse Aid Dispenser

Refill the Rinse Aid reservoir when the Rinse Aid indicator light on the control panel is illuminated.

How to load your dishwasher

For best results, follow these loading guidelines.

Recommendations : Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine. Start the

machine with full load.

Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket.

WARNING: Always place sharp utensils with the sharp point down and open utensils with their openings down.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and teacups and

saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and

cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.

The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels at different height into the rails.

Caution: Make sure that the rack is empty. Changing the height setting while the rack contains tableware could

cause the contents to dislodge, causing personal injury or damage to the tableware.

1) Release the latches on both the right and left tracks of the upper rack by turning them toward the outside

(illustration A).

2) Pull out the rack completely. (illustration B).

3) Place the rack into the track again at the desired height (illustration C).

4) Push the latches back into the correct position.

How To Use The Lower Rack

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: pots, pans, lids,

serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the

top spray arm.

Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.

The bottom rack features fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Silverware Basket

Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with handles at the bottom: if the rack has side baskets, the

spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the

horizontal position at the front of the upper rack.

Caring And Maintenance

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good

appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protect against freezing

If your dishwasher is to be left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or tip circuit breaker.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub at the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber

boot.

Cleaning The Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly or hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm

jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut by hand in a counter-clockwise

direction to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in

soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them

thoroughly.

Filtering System

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There

are three components of the filtering system: the coarse filter, the fine filter, and the main filter.

Coarse Filter

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove

an item caught in this filter, gently turn the top of the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction and lift it out.

Fine Filter

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes

during a cycle.

Main Filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm

and washed down the drain.

Cleaning The Filter assembly

Turn the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction.

Lift the Coarse filter (b) together with the Fine Filter(a)

Separate the Fine filter by lifting it out from the Course

Filter (b).

Lift out the out the Main filter (c).

To replace the filter assembly follow the same steps in reverse.

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be

cleaned.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.

Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance

level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

WARNIING – Never run the dishwasher without the filters in

place.

Cleaning The Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent

penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner

of any kind.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will

scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING - Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and

electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the

risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

How To Keep You Dishwasher In Shape

After every wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that

moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning

products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of

the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made

specifically for dishwashers.

When you go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and

them remove the plug from the AC socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance

slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.

Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Nunca use un cable de extensión para conectar la energía a la

unidad. Nunca use un adaptador de tierra de dos clavijas.

calificado para que lo reemplace por un receptáculo de 3 clavijas de acuerdo con los códigos

eléctricos aplicables.
